The results are in! Microsoft Developer Community selected InstallAware<\/strong> as the Readers Choice Award Winner<\/em><\/strong> in the INSTALLATION, SETUP AND DEPLOYMENT TOOLS category.

For the fourth time, Visual Studio Magazine<\/em><\/strong> readers have honored InstallAware<\/strong> as the best Visual Studio<\/em><\/strong> related setup programming tool. The Readers Choice survey is closely monitored. There is no ballot stuffing or vendor voting. Duplicate votes and ISP’s are removed. In sum, this result provides you with the best representation of the marketplace; best of breed tools.<\/p>\n

The one and only InstallAware<\/strong> Studio X3 is unique in the following ways<\/span><\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Pin to the Windows 10 Start Menu and Taskbar:<\/strong> Microsoft recently disabled programmatic access to the Windows 10 Taskbar. Microsoft had never allowed to pin to the new Windows 10 Start Menu either. InstallAware<\/strong> does both, bridging you into the most prime real estate on the Windows 10 Desktop. Just check a check-box in the “Create Shortcut” command!<\/p>\n

Glass on Windows 10:<\/strong> InstallAware is the first to bring G L A S S to Windows 10. Use InstallAware<\/strong>‘s pre-built Glass theme, or create your own. Just rebuild existing setups without any source code changes to glassify them for Windows 10. Show off your own glass based setup splash screen, with the target OS’s Windows accent colors applied!<\/p>\n

Pre-Flight Checks:<\/strong> Push your hardware to its limits with InstallAware.<\/strong> Run multiple simultaneous virtual machine tests on as many virtual machines as you want. Specify custom command line parameters and customize InstallAware<\/strong>‘s included unit testing scripts as the ultimate in pre-flight checks, with your own customizable roster.<\/p>\n

50% Better Compression:<\/strong> Reduce Microsoft’s official SQL Server 2014 Express with Service Pack 1 installation into half of its already compressed size. Seemingly violating the law of entropy in data compression, InstallAware<\/strong> is unmatched the size and speed of the installers it creates, even outperforming the platform\/OS vendor.<\/p>\n

Seamless Upgrade:<\/strong> Whatever installation platform you use, you’ll find authoring a setup in InstallAware<\/strong> a breeze. Nonetheless, you can even import EXE binaries or source code into ready-to-build InstallAware<\/strong> projects, eliminating the barrier to upgrade and helping combat entrenchment in a particular vendor’s tookit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
